What is the function to query the web from vb6?
What I am trying to do is to get data from yahoo finance. For example this url returns a csv file with the dividend value of General Electric:
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GE&f=d
I need to run this in a function and have the function return the answer.
Speaking of Excel, you can create a web query. Would be trivial in your case.
Other than that, you can use the WinHttpRequest if you want to make your life a bit easier, or a socket if you don’t. But then, there’s no winsock control in Excel.
